Reporter keeps his spirits up they can't dim that
6 hours ago Ryan Reilly introduced himself to me in a McDonalds. Then we ended up in jail. Wonder what he's got planned for our second date

Let's hope a real stinker of a lawsuit gets going.
They didn't actually get as far as jail, they were cuffed, slammed into a few things, then let go at the cop shop without being charged, booked, or seeing the inside of a cell.
And without being able to report on the police overreaction against peaceful people blocking a street.
